For years, rumors have swirled that Blake Shelton's bad behavior was putting a strain on his marriage to Miranda Lambert. But was it her infidelity that ultimately caused her divorce? After reports that she strayed with country singer Chris Young, Young spoke out Tuesday to set the record straight.
"I don't normally address gossip but in this case I will," Young, 30, wrote. "My name has been mentioned as a contributing factor in Blake and Miranda's divorce."
"That is totally FALSE," he insisted. "They are both my friends and I would not betray that friendship."
